What if the Bruins got Erik Johnson from Colorado for Corvo and a pick? Not sure if the Avs would be willing to part with him and he's in the final year of his contract making 2.6 mil then he's a RFA. Though he hasn't been the same player since missing 08-09 with an injury so I see it as a low risk high reward deal for the B's if they can get him.

The Avs would be reluctant to move Johnson and would want a lot more than that. He's their #1 defensemen, he's young and could be the anchor of their blueline for 15 years. They also gave up Chris Stewart and Kevin Shattenkirk to get him, just last year. They would need to come out ahead if they were to move him. Joe Corvo and a draft pick does not put them ahead. This deal would have to include Hamilton and then some.
